02. What Mould Removal at Bling Bling covers
The scope of work in Graz at a glance — what the contract says and what actually happens on site.
Recording over weeks
Data loggers record the temperature and the relative humidity in the room and at the cold surface over two to four weeks. The evaluation, with the dew point over time, is the basis on which it becomes possible at all to distinguish between use and a building defect.
Household contents, textiles and paper
Smooth, close-grained objects are cleaned, and porous things that are grown through go out; clothing is washed at sixty degrees, and books and files are treated individually with a fine particulate filter vacuum and stored separately. What can be saved is agreed beforehand with the owner and the insurer.
Looking for the cause, with measured values
Before anything is removed, the surface temperatures, the material moisture and the room air values are recorded and the dew point calculated from them. Only then can it be distinguished whether a thermal bridge, a leak, rising damp or a question of use lies behind it.
Containment and protection of those working
The working area is separated off dust-tight, run under negative pressure with an air scrubber and entered through an airlock. The critical moment is not the growth but the removal, because that is when the largest quantity of spores is released; the work is done with FFP3 and a disposable coverall.
Removal at the surface
Wallpaper, paint and coatings are taken off, smooth, non-absorbent surfaces treated and vacuumed with a fine particulate filter. On small smooth areas we work with seventy to eighty per cent alcohol, not with chlorine bleach.
Stripping out affected substance
Plasterboard, insulation, the insulation layer under a screed, chipboard and wood-based panels are grown through and are taken out, not treated. That part is taken on by our partner firm Skyline Bau GmbH, so that strip-out, drying and reinstatement run together.
The basin location with its winter inversion keeps the humidity high, and the old-town stock with thick walls and vaulted cellars makes summer condensation the rule rather than the exception. Because little may be changed at the facade in the old-town conservation area, internal insulation and capillary-active systems are used more often than insulation from outside — and their junction details are precisely the places where growth reappears. In the hillside locations in the west, living rooms lie against the ground on the uphill side, and there hillside water has to be checked before anything else.
03. Mould Removal: Bling Bling vs. the competition
Mould is a moisture problem and not a cleanliness problem: as long as the cause remains, the growth comes back, and usually within a few weeks in the same place. The second underestimated point is the remediation itself, because removing it releases considerably more spores into the room air than leaving it alone — without containment one distributes the growth through the whole flat. That is why we measure first, work in a contained area under negative pressure, take out layers that are grown through instead of painting over them, and evidence the drying with figures. We give the cost range after the inspection, because the area, the construction and the cause determine the work involved. In Graz, Bling Bling works with the same core team that knows the building.

Record of each visit and photo documentation, reported monthly.
9Dryers with a separate meter and a running-time record
Units are set up with their own electricity meter, the running time and the consumption are documented, and in cold rooms desiccant dryers are used — so that the share of the electricity can be evidenced for the insurer and the managing agent.
10We say where our service ends
Where wood-destroying fungi are suspected, where saturation is structurally relevant or where the waterproofing is missing, the work does not continue: it is reported and handed over to Skyline Bau GmbH and, where needed, to an expert.

08. Mould Removal for 5 typical situations
The same service looks different depending on the occasion — these five situations come up most often.
A complaint before handover or letting
When growth turns up at handover, at a sale or in an expert report, a documented remediation with cause, measures and verification of success is needed.
After flooding or a backflow from the sewer
Here the problem is not the moisture but the water itself: it is microbially contaminated, and porous building materials in the contact zone have to come out. Cleaning, disinfection and drying run in that order.
After new windows or facade insulation
The building is tighter, the way it is used has stayed the same — the growth appears at the reveal, the roller shutter box and the wall junction. We measure, name the new coldest point and say what is missing in the ventilation.
Discolouration on rafters or the vapour retarder in the loft
A finding in a roof build-up can be condensation, a leaking retarder or a leak, and the range extends as far as wood-destroying fungi. First it is measured, then opened, never the other way round.
A cellar with efflorescence and a musty smell
Often affected stored goods are standing in the middle of it. First clear and separate, then establish the findings across the depth of the wall, then the decision on ventilation, drying or waterproofing.
★ Worth knowing
What is often misjudged about Mould Removal
Said up front, on the facts — not after the invoice.
The cellar summer is the most common self-inflicted damage
Outside air at twenty-five degrees and seventy per cent relative humidity has a dew point around nineteen degrees; if it meets a wall at fifteen degrees in the cellar, water comes out of the air at that wall, and the longer the window stands open, the more of it. That explains why many cellars become damper in summer even though they are being ventilated, and dry out in winter, when cold air that is absolutely dry comes in and warms up inside. What is right, therefore, is: in summer ventilate only at night and in the early hours, or through a control system governed by humidity and temperature, and in winter briefly and vigorously. Where moisture is coming from the ground or from the hillside at the same time, ventilation alone is not enough, and we say so after the measurement — not after the smell.
A tight envelope without a ventilation concept moves the problem elsewhere
Old windows were the leak through which moisture flowed away uncontrolled; after they are replaced the same moisture load stays in the room, and a household of four puts several litres of water a day into the air through breathing, showering, cooking and drying laundry. At the same time the wall behind new insulation becomes warmer, but the reveal, the roller shutter box, the window sill junction and the area at the edge of the ceiling stay cold and become the new coldest point — and that is where the growth appears in the first winter after the work. The regulations set a minimum requirement for the room-side surface temperature and call for evidence on protection against condensation, which in practice means a ventilation concept: frame rebate vents, humidity-controlled extract or a system with heat recovery. We measure the actual surface temperatures, show the margin to the dew point and state what is missing in constructional terms.
Mould needs no droplets, only cold surfaces
At twenty degrees room air and sixty per cent relative humidity the dew point lies at about twelve degrees — at a thermal bridge at eleven degrees water comes out of the air without anybody seeing a wet patch. In fact spores begin to germinate well before that, at approximately eighty per cent humidity directly at the surface, which is why building physics works with a minimum value for the room-side surface temperature: DIN 4108-2 sets a temperature factor of 0.7 for this, which under standard climate conditions corresponds to about 12.6 degrees, and ÖNORM B 8110-2 governs protection against condensation in building construction. In practice that means: furniture with a gap to the wall, ventilate the moisture load away, and deal with the cold spot in constructional terms — wiping it off treats only the consequence.

●. Frequently asked questions about Mould Removal in Graz
What does Mould Removal cost?
There is no price before the site visit, and a figure given over the phone rarely holds. We look at surfaces, access and time windows, and then the cost framework is set out in writing with a schedule of services. What changes the price: the area, the frequency, the condition at handover and the time of day the work is done.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes, free of charge and without obligation. It is the only way to quote seriously, so we treat it as part of the offer, not as a service to be paid for.
Does the same person come every time?
Yes. The team is permanently employed and knows the building, the access arrangements and the routines. Cover is arranged in advance and named, and it works from the building log, not from a verbal handover.
Is your staff properly registered?
All of them, with social insurance. No chain of subcontractors in which nobody is liable at the end. Proof is provided on request.
What insurance is in place?
Public liability of €3m, covering personal injury, property damage and financial loss. The certificate is attached to the quotation.
What happens if something is not right?
It is put right within 48 hours, in writing, at no extra cost. Measured against the schedule of services and a joint inspection, not against an impression.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — early, late, at weekends or on public holidays. In occupied buildings, daytime cleaning in sections is often the better option, because the client sees the work and can raise anything immediately.
Do I have to provide materials or a room?
Materials and equipment we bring. What helps is a lockable store with a slop sink, space for the trolley and somewhere for pads to dry — damp pads in a closed bag are the most common source of smell in an otherwise clean building.
What notice period applies?
The contract is terminable monthly. There is no minimum term and no automatic extension by the year.
Do you also work in English?
Yes — German, English and five further languages. The briefing gets through, which matters more on site than it sounds.
Which documents do I get?
A schedule of services with frequencies, a dated record of each visit, photo documentation before and after, and a monthly report.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the quotation being accepted. Short-notice jobs are most readily possible in Vienna, because travel times within a district are short.
